      Cricut Design Space Alternatives: 10 Similar iPhone Apps in 2026

      By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated May 25, 2026 — live App Store data verified 1 min ago

      The short version

      Cricut Design Space designs projects and sends cut files to Cricut machines, backed by a huge fonts and image library. The closest alternatives are design companion apps offering SVG cut files, fonts, and project templates for crafters. Crafti and Designs for Crafting stand out for large, well-rated design libraries. Note that most of these supply designs and fonts rather than controlling a cutting machine, so they complement rather than fully replace Design Space. The right pick depends on whether you need machine control or just more design assets.

      People look for a Cricut Design Space alternative when they want more fonts and SVG cut files, a cheaper way to get designs, or a smoother project workflow. The picks here connect to the same craft world Design Space serves: designing cuttable projects with fonts, images, and templates for vinyl, shirts, stickers, and cards. An important distinction is that most of these are design and asset libraries, not machine-control software, so you often still export to Design Space to cut. We ranked them by embedding similarity to Cricut Design Space, then weighed live App Store ratings and review themes. We flag which apps supply designs versus those built for broader crafting, so you know what each actually does.

        Why it's similar

        Design Maker For Craft Space shares Design Space's purpose as a one-stop design hub: build craft projects from scratch or start from pre-made templates for cutting and DIY. Both aim to be the crafter's central design tool.

        How it differs

        It is a third-party design and template library rather than Cricut's official machine software, so it doesn't control the cutter directly. Its rating is modest, and it leans on in-app purchases for assets, making it a supplement to Design Space more than a replacement.

        Why it's similar

        Design Maker For Cricut Space is built explicitly for Cricut enthusiasts, a DIY companion for making shirts, mugs, stickers, and cards. Both target the same crafters working on cuttable projects.

        How it differs

        It is a brand-new third-party app with only a couple of ratings and provides designs and inspiration rather than machine control. You still rely on Design Space to send jobs to your Cricut, so this fills the asset and idea gap.

        Why it's similar

        AI Design Studio Space directly targets Cricut projects with 68,000+ designer fonts and SVG cut files tailored to crafting. Both put a deep library of cut-ready assets at your fingertips for DIY work.

        How it differs

        It is a paid asset library that exports files for cutting rather than running the machine like Design Space does. Its focus is supplying fonts and SVGs at volume, so it pairs with Design Space rather than replacing the official cutting workflow.

        How it differs

        It is a font and SVG store, not machine software, so it provides files you import into Design Space to actually cut. With a solid rating and decent base, it's a useful asset source rather than a standalone Cricut control app.

        How it differs

        Cutout is a newer third-party companion with few ratings and focuses on designing and customizing rather than driving the machine. It complements Design Space by expanding your design options instead of replacing the official cut software.

        Why it's similar

        Design Maker for Craft Space overlaps with Design Space on creating craft designs, using AI to generate sublimation art, stickers, shirts, and logos. Both help crafters produce project-ready artwork.

        How it differs

        It is an AI design generator and asset tool, not a machine controller, and it has very few ratings so far. Its strength is fast AI-made designs you then bring into Design Space to cut, making it an idea-and-asset add-on.

        Why it's similar

        Designs for Crafting matches Design Space's beginner-friendly project focus, bundling 50+ projects with step-by-step guides plus designs to take you from zero to finished. Both want to make crafting approachable.

        How it differs

        It is a project-and-design library rather than cutting software, so it teaches and supplies assets while you cut elsewhere. Its well-rated, larger base makes it a strong learning and inspiration resource alongside Design Space's machine control.

        Why it's similar

        CREATIVATE shares Design Space's craft-cutting territory and adds sewing, embroidery, and quilting resources in one inspiration hub. Both serve makers looking for projects and guidance.

        How it differs

        CREATIVATE spans many crafts and ties into its own ecosystem rather than driving a Cricut, with a modest rating. It is broader and less cut-focused than Design Space, fitting multi-craft hobbyists more than dedicated Cricut cutting workflows.

        Why it's similar

        Silhouette Design Mockup Font targets the same machine-crafting audience with fonts, mockups, and design tools for cutting projects. Both supply the creative assets that bring cut designs to life.

        How it differs

        It is an asset and mockup app with a small user base, not cutting software, and its name nods to Silhouette machines too. It provides fonts and previews you'd use alongside Design Space rather than replacing the Cricut cut pipeline.

        How it differs

        Crafti is a well-rated asset and design platform rather than Cricut's machine software, so you export to Design Space to cut. Its large library and high rating make it a popular supplement for crafters who want more designs than the official app offers.

      How we ranked these 10 alternatives

      Embedding similarity

      Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Cricut Design Space, we compute cosine distance against every other app and surface the closest 60 candidates. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.

      Re-ranking signals

      We then re-rank the candidate set using current App Store rating and review-count signals so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 reviews ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 reviews even when their embedding distance is similar. Apps that haven't shipped an update in 12 months are filtered out before re-ranking.

      Refresh cadence

      The similarity cache is recomputed weekly. Live App Store data (rating, review count) is verified every 6 hours.
